In her paintings, she often uses small details of gold and silver. It gives the paintings a special glowing effect. Often this is combined with the use of many bright colours. The use of colour is important in her work. It gives joy to work with. IneLouise find her inspiration in nature. She paints from her heart and out of her memories and never uses photos asan example. In this way, she creates new landscapes, that do not exist, but they do exist in her mind. The landscapes are simplified to almost abstract. That gives her a lot of freedom to paint: in form and in the use of colour. IneLouise won several awards for her works of art in The Netherlands. Her work has been shown in numerous galleries, important artfairs and in various museums. Her motto is: "Search beyond the boundaries and create the unknown"
